I have actually seen several of those videos, haha. I do think the single tree setups are neat, I have used 1 similar to the one the guy uses in the last link you posted and it works. The nice thing about carrying around 40feet or so of cord for a ridgeline (If your not worried about weight, which I am not, im more worried about pack size) is that you have extra cordage to use for single tree setups or the like. And I find that and extra length of amsteel is not all that heavy any way ( What is it like 100ft to the pound?). I know some of you like to count things down to the gram but I tend to not worry about it as long as my pack is under 80Lbs or so, but then again Im young and still have a good back and enjoy it still. :P I really like the turnbuckle idea, I found one that holds over 2 thousand pounds and only weighs 12oz and may pick that up and give it a shot.
